Civic Duty
Hey, downtowners. Wouldnt it be great to do something fun and interactive with your lunch hour besides waiting in line for fatty foods with other grumpy cubicle trolls? Now you can (at least on Thursdays), thanks to a massive team effort between Karuna Village Fair Trade, Radio Phoenix, ASU's College of Public Programs, the City of Phoenix, and the Downtown Phoenix Partnership. Every Thursday between now and April 29, the Lunchtime Music Series at Civic Space Park presents live performances by local musicians. (The artist scheduled to perform is Radio Phoenixs Clinton Switzer, who plays emotive indie folk and a pretty mean harmonica.)
Future performers include Vanessa Atalanta, Ree Boardo, Noel Barto, and Tobie Milford of the Whisperlights. The event is open to all ages and professions, so go ahead and show up in your monkey suit, business casual garb, or work uniform.
Thu., Jan. 28, 11 a.m.-1 p.m., 2010

It Goes By So Fast: After 12 Years, the 'Boyhood' Trailer Is Finally Here
By Vivian Kane | Trailers | April 25, 2014 | Comments ()
In 2002, Richard Linklater (of Dazed and Confused and the Before/After/During Different Times of Day films) started filming a movie about a 6 year old boy and his family. The film was shot over 12 years, periodically gathering the actors together to continue the work. This movie could have easily played out as a filmmaking gimmick, but it was a serious favorite among the SXSW Pajiba contingent. The trailer's main commodity seems to be that Linklater specialty: quiet, painful intimacy.
Boyhood has a release date of July 11.

Inspiring teachers remembered
'Thank you, Mr Leadley and Mr Welch'RHONDA MARKBY AND NATASHA THYNE
Relevant offers
Some teachers you remember more than others.
And the inaugural Festivals of Education want to acknowledge those teachers who have had the greatest impact on our lives.
InspiredbyU is being launched as part of the inaugural Festivals of Education being held in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in March.
Using virtual postcards, thousands of New Zealanders will have the opportunity to share the story of the teacher that had the biggest impact on their lives.
Prime Minister John Key was among the first to share his InspiredbyU story, writing an oversize postcard to his former teacher - Rob Hughes - who taught him economics at Burnside High School, and who still teaches economics at the same school today.
In the postcard, he writes: "Dear Rob, I was inspired by you because you had a love, passion, and great knowledge of economics. You added to my desire to make a difference to New Zealand."
Education Minister Hekia Parata added her "inspiring teacher" story to the launch, identifying Mrs Patricia Fitzpatrick, who taught Ms Parata and many of her siblings at Ngata Memorial College in Ruatoria.
Ms Parata writes: "I was inspired by you because you: Encouraged my LOVE of reading, broadened my taste in literature, bolstered my confidence when other kids thought it was pretty nerdy and you were big on "big words" (though not bureaucratic ones!)."
Members of the public are invited to create their own digital postcards, sharing their teacher story online, at inspiredbyU.org.nz.
We asked some of our South Canterbury achievers to tell us about their favourite teacher memories.
■ From Timaru to Tokyo, entertainer Mika is on top of the performing arts world.
He has spent three decades working on stage, film, television, fashion and music all over the world.
During his time at Marchwiel Primary School, Wattlington Intermediate and Timaru Boys' High School, Mika said he had many fantastic teachers who were encouraging of his singing and acting.
Many of his teachers were very supportive of his aspiration to become a performing artist, which according to him was quite radical in the 1970s.
However, he said the most inspiring thing he can think of was the support he got from Timaru Boys' teacher Bruce Leadley and rector Raymond Welch, when he came out as gay.
He said as a "brown, gay track and field disco champion", it meant a lot to have them backing him and said it was pretty life-changing.
"I can't imagine what it would have been like not to have that support."
He said he was always very confident and didn't get bullied all that much but can remember Mr Leadley telling off a group of guys who were joking around, giving him a hard time.
Whenever he returns home to Timaru and performs he said many of his old teachers come along to the shows, but they are often too shy to say hello.
"Which is really annoying - come and say hello," said Mika.
■ Janie Annear's high school biology teacher knew there was more to the teenager than the troublesome girl always referred to her for detention.
Ask Timaru's former mayor which teacher had the greatest impact on her, and Mrs Annear instantly nominates Marj Frengley, her form dean and biology teacher at Kaikorai Valley High School in Dunedin.
"I struggled to find the subject scintillating. We had to copy down notes from the board and I considered that a waste of my valuable time.
"I was not known for good behaviour and spent a little, actually a lot, of time in detention."
Then one day the long-suffering teacher told the student she had a lot of potential and great leadership qualities - if only she could stay out of trouble.
"I was quite shocked that she would say that, that she believed in me," Mrs Annear said, admitting she was really only happy at high school when she was playing sport or in a phys ed class.
Those words did have an impact on the student who described herself as a struggling fifth former.
And Mrs Frengley proved to be a good judge of character considering she recognised in the teenager the leadership qualities which would later be to the fore in the Timaru District Council chamber for 18 years.
■ Olympic track rider Shane Archbold, also known as the flying mullet, went right back to his first year at school to recall his first teacher.
The memory of Marguerite Lawrie's hugs has stuck with Mr Archbold since he was 5 years old. He said he could remember being comforted and getting hugs from her during his first year at Grantlea Downs Primary School.
Up until recently Mrs Lawrie still taught at the school and Mr Archbold kept in touch with her as she lives around the corner from him.
"I hope she's proud of me, but she's probably taught a lot of people she's proud of."
He said at school he was always more into sport than the academic side and is thankful his sports career has worked out.
The 25-year-old recently smashed a 7-year-old record to take fastest time in the Hoskin Cup, held by the St Andrews Cycling Club.
He is also one of three South Cantabrians to be named in the squad for next month's UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Colombia.
He previously won a silver medal in the omnium at the world champs in 2011. At the London 2012 Olympics he placed sixth in the omnium cycling event.

That is a very good question. How long do you have to wait. It could be months. BofA holds all of the cards and you get to sit and wait. When you do get the green light to close from BofA you only have so many days to close. If you miss the closing window you get to sit back and wait until they (BofA) get around again to approve the short sale. I had a client in GA that waited 6 months before we could close on the home that they put an offer on, and we had the only offer on the table. The banks are not really in a big hurry to close on a short sale. It is my opinion that the bank is waiting to see if they can bring anymore offers to the table with a higher sale price. It has been my experience when the bank sends an appraiser out to the property to get the appraisal for the bank selling the property you could be about 60 days out from approval.
Good Luck,
Darrell Swope

So far, Carrington is the only one of the 9 I've asked my gate-keeper to download on which this feature works. Is there another? Is there something I can look for in the theme description or preview that would indicate if page hierarchies can be a drop down?

Skip to comments.Robotic ball that chases burglars (England once again surrendering to crime)
Posted on 02/14/2005 9:07:58 AM PST by TorahTrueJew
A large black ball, originally designed by Swedish scientists for use on Mars, could be the latest weapon in the war against burglars.
The device, developed at the University of Uppsala, acts as a high-tech security guard capable of detecting an intruder thanks to either radar or infra-red sensors. Once alerted, it can summon help, sound an alarm or pursue the intruders, taking pictures.
It is capable of travelling at 20mph, somewhat faster than a human being. Even worse for intruders, the robot ball can still give chase over mud, snow and water.
The ball relies on an internal pendulum to control its motion which, when shifted, changes the centre of gravity and starts it rolling.
Other devices, including microphones, cameras, heat sensors and smoke detectors are mounted on its central axis.
Nils Hulth, co-founder of Rotundus, the company which is marketing the ball, said it was especially well-suited to patrolling perimeter fences.
The prototype, just under 2ft in diameter, weighs about 10lb. "It is extremely light, which is why it moves so fast," Mr Hulth said.
While the current version can only raise the alarm, it could be adapted to corner an intruder if the customer wanted, Mr Hulth added.
Patrick Mercer, the Tory MP who is campaigning to give people greater rights to defend their property against burglars, thought the robot ball could have potential: "It would be interesting to see whether the ball had used grossly disproportionate force or whether it would be deemed reasonable.
"But I would much rather a burglar be terrified of householders and shopkeepers, rather than some sort of futuristic device."
bump! Rover is alive and well and living in England...
Anybody notice the link below the article to another article on "How to tackle a burglar within the law". You need to register to read it though. I can't believe this country still exists or that people want to live there!
USed to love that old Prisoner TV show.
Run, Patrick, run!
More on same subject here at FR !
PRISONER: Who is Number 1?
NUMBER 2: You are Number #6.
Now restate it.

Why do people put "BANG" as the keyword instead of "BANGLIST"? I didn't see it because I have BANGLIST bookmarked. Don't tell me I need to search for both now!

Be seeing you!
Sounds suspiciously like Rover from The Prisoner
|Rovers, the Village Guardians, roam the Village and its outskirts as a constant reminder that there is no escape. There is also a Rover guarding the helicopter platform at all times, one designed for high-pressure areas which roams the ocean floor, and at least one held in reserve for special cases, activated only at the request of Number 2 or when a Supervisor declares Orange Alert.
At its most basic, Rover reacts to motion, chasing the fastest-moving life-form in its immediate area, then chemically paralyzing and suffocating them. The Rover assigned to the ocean floor has eliminated all major life forms, including seaweed, off the coast of the Village. Except for occasional schools of fish and shrimp which wash past it to the shallow spots, the area is devoid of life.
|Rovers are colloidal mechanisms which work on a fluidic principle. First synthesized as linear colloidal structures for use in microfluidics, their evolution into a spherical shape (thanks to some prodding by a team of Biotechnologists) increased their stability and their maximum possible size. While not technically living beings, it is thought they contain cellular material and genetic traits from Tetrodontidae and Diodontidae, known in the vernacular as Blow fish. Like the Rovers, these fish are able to expand to a spherical shape and release a substance known as tetrodotoxin. Tetrodotoxin prevents transfer of impulses on a cellular level by blocking the transfer of sodium, thus causing paralysis.
LOL....I dunno. I search for the title vs keywords but then since 98 I have posted about 13 or 14 threads so I can't suggest the why's.......:o)
I'm just posting a link to the other thread vs the schoolhouse scolding that some here impose when a duplicate is discoverd.
You post does have some different data.....so it's not really a duplicate IMO.
Stay safe !
The criminals will steal them as souveniers.....like those fancy globe reflectors in "upper class" gardens.
I yam not a nambah i yam a free man!
First, let's wait and see if LUCAS is going to make them there. In which case, they will not start, or will attack their owners, or simply stop working till they cool down, etc.
"Other devices, including microphones, cameras, heat sensors and smoke detectors are mounted on its central axis."
They left off the critical stun gun which, being absent, will result in this expensive ball being tossed out a window or over a wall when it actually catches the criminal.
Heh...that was my first thought! Came here to see if anyone else had posted pictures. FReepers never disappoint! ;-)
Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
It won't take long for the perps to realize that they can get the thing to follow them right to their parked automobile. Then they'll grab it and head for the pawn shop.
Just because buglers are musicians, it doesn't mean they're any less brave than other soldiers.
But seriously, the ball would take and transmit photographs of the burglars, aiding in their eventual capture. Apparently that's supposed to be the deterrent here.
If English prisons are anything like English hospitals that may be deterrent enough.
What really sucks is that Harry Potter has polluted all the google listings for "The Prisoner".
Question: Can the robotic crime ball scale a fence?
Better question: Can it dodge bullets?
Oh I forgot! There are no guns in the UK.
I have been thinking of something similar for recon, but my idea is to load it with about 2 lbs of C4. I never thought about using it against burglars though--might be hard to get the pulped perp off the walls.
Now your name is TOBY and you'll stay on da PLANTATION or yuh'll git whupped. (Dr. DEAN to you know who)

In spite of ManageWP's issues, at least setup and use is comprehensible and support is quick.

Gamakatsu Octopus Hooks. Quite simply the king of fish hooks... glow finish!
The life of a fish hook is measured by the sharpness, hardness, and viscosity of the point. The folks at Gamakatsu understand this and are obsessed by it.First, they insist on using the highest-grade high carbon steel.
This drastically reduces the chance of blemishes in the metal that would weaken the hook. Secondly, Gamakatsu has the most advanced tempering system in the world. Every hook is heated to the exact temperature that is perfect for that particular style and size of the hook then cooled in oil.
This process produces hooks which are super strong, but not brittle. Finally, their sharpening process is the most modern in the world, and results in a perfectly conical point that is unequaled in sharpness.
- Extra-wide gap and rounded shape for secure hooksets on salmon, steelhead or walleye
- Full choice of sizes
- Glow finish.

Wonderful stay at The Goring. The service is second to none. We were traveling with our 2 children (11 & 13 yrs old) and the staff was extremely kind and accommodating. We had connecting rooms which were lovely. The staff always greeted us by name and provided little extras that made the stay one to remember. Patrick, the concierge, was always helpful and effective at fulfilling any request. The afternoon tea is a must-do but make reservations in advance. We had a waiter from Grenoble, France who was delightful. We found the accommodations and service at The Goring the best we have encountered -- outranks any Four Seasons,Ritz Carlton, etc.
I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. If you enjoy exceptional service, luxurious rooms and a fabulous location, you will not be disappointed.

text: No. 5 -- HP Breakup For a nearly a year after his arrival, HP's ( HPQ) new chief Leo Apotheker quietly assessed the PC giant's problems as he prepared a grand solution. On Aug. 18, Apotheker made what was seen as a rash move to kill the Palm WebOS TouchPad products, explore the spinoff of the world's largest PC business, and retool the company as more of an enterprise software company. Overnight, the stock fell 23% as investors fled in the aftermath of the breakup strategy. Though the company has backpedaled on any immediate carve-out of the PC division, and has revived limited production of TouchPad tablets, there's been no atonement yet by Apotheker.

This was an RCI exchange. The exchange rate was cheaper so I'm not complaining much. The place is older, but clean. This isn't a 5 star resort; however, it was nice and comfortable. You are on a beautiful island with awesome beaches. You aren't spending a lot of time in the room to begin with. Speaking of beaches, this place has one of the nicest. You are able to reserve your beach chair location for the week. Each room has a large sliding glass door facing the beach. It was nice to wake-up and eat breakfast to the surf hitting the beach. The hotel is located close to Philipsburg and Simpson Bay. Many of great places to eat and shop. The staff we came into contact with were friendly. I'd stay here again.

Like Shooting Fish in a Barrel With A Machine Gun
My prediction re: the Weekly's analysis of the election was, almost word for word, the Weekly's analysis of the election.
From last night, at 10:35 pm:
Here's my prediction for the Weekly's post-election analysis tomorrow:
"The city council elections were a referendum on the monorail: Two monorail board incumbents floundered in second place behind anti-monorail opponents. Richard Conlin did better than expected because he made the monorail his main campaign issue. Jan Drago did more poorly than expected because she supported the monorail. And Richard McIver and Dwight Pelz, who both opposed the monorail, split the anti-monorail vote and did - um, better than expected."
From the Weekly's election story, titled "A Monorail Undercurrent."
Seattle voters turned against the proposed monorail on primary election night, Tuesday, Sept. 20. The beneficiaries were Seattle City Council member Richard Conlin, a leading monorail skeptic, and a couple of political unknowns, Beth Goldberg and Jim Nobles, who were among those challenging incumbent members of the Seattle Popular Monorail Authority board. …
Former journalist and mayoral aide Casey Corr did not have nearly as much luck with his anti-monorail message against Seattle City Council president Jan Drago. … Nielsen [a political analyst] says Drago has done a good job of positioning herself as the true Democrat in the race…
Corr is, of course, a Democrat as well, but he will have to find a way to turn the race into a referendum on the unpopular monorail if he is going to succeed in liberal Seattle. The incumbent who fared the poorest in the primary was the council's lone African American, Richard McIver, who managed a first-place finish in his race with only 37 percent of the vote….
Pelz and McIver do not differ much on issuesboth are light-rail boosters, monorail skeptics, and fans of urban density.
For my take on why they're wrong, read below.
Richard Conlin still has a formidable opponent in pro-monorail Paige Miller. Jan Drago, polling last night at 42 percent, was trouncing Casey Corr (with just under 25 percent), and will likely pick up many of the lefty (and, incidentally, pro-monorail) voters who voted for socialist Linda Averill and goofy green Angel Bolanos. And all three candidates in McIver's race were against the monorail, making it a non-issue.
Finally, Cindi Laws was trounced because of her anti-Semitic comments, not her support for the monorail. Taken together, the two pro-monorail candidates for Cleve Stockmeyer's seat - Stockmeyer and Dick Falkenbury, whose name is practically synonymous with the monorail - polled right around 60 percent. I have trouble seeing Jim Nobles (who wants to shut the monorail down) picking up many of those monorail-loving Dick Falkenbury voters.
To look at last night's results as a referendum on the monorail, you'd almost have to write the story without looking at the results - much less going out and talking to the candidates.
Incidentally, as I reported last night: not one Weekly reporter was seen at this year's primary election parties.

Read an Excerpt
By WILLIAM C. HARRIS STEVEN C. BESCHLOSS
Prometheus BooksCopyright © 2011 William C. Harris and Steven C. Beschloss
All right reserved.
Chapter OneAre Americans Still Capable of Bold Action and Common Purpose?
It was a tiny speck in the black night sky, 560 miles from Earth and traveling at a speed of 18,000 miles an hour. Sputnik 1, a shiny aluminum sphere about twice the size of a basketball and weighing just 184 pounds, rocketed into space on October 4, 1957. Launched by the Soviets, the silver satellite with four radio antennae ushered in the Space Age with a simple message: beep, beep, beep.
That radio transmission was a sound heard round the world, triggering a combination of admiration, confusion, and fear from Americans. Circling the globe every ninety-six minutes, Sputnik provided a vivid symbol of the Soviet Union's capacity for scientific and technological superiority. Millions of Americans, dazzled by this stunning human achievement, gathered at night to try and catch a glimpse of Sputnik traveling overhead. Many, beset by darker concerns about the Soviets' intentions, worried that this was more than a satellite to study space—this was a Cold War demonstration of an intercontinental missile capable of transporting atomic bombs, the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.
The startling success of Sputnik 1, followed by the launch of Sputnik 2 a month later with the dog Laika on board, was a serious blow to American prestige and morale. It was a wake-up call for Americans who had grown complacent in their presumption of dominance. It was a shock to the system, representing a kind of "technological Pearl Harbor," as David Halberstam put it, and a worldwide boon to Soviet propaganda hailing communism as the more advanced system. Yet even though Sputnik wrought havoc with American pride, it also presented the United States with a rare gift, a singular moment for reflection and action—to focus its collective mind, question what it had accomplished and where it was failing, and think boldly about the future. With the calm leadership of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Sputnik spurred a fresh emphasis on basic research and the importance of science and math education to the nation's success, even its very survival.
At first this was more about action than reflection. In its terrible haste to respond, the United States prepped the Vanguard rocket for a December 6 launch at Cape Canaveral in Florida. Yet seven seconds after its engines were ignited that Friday morning, the rocket exploded in flames. A fantastic failure that further shook the nation's confidence, Vanguard was dubbed in the media "Kaputnik" and "Stayputnik" and "Flopnik." Lyndon Johnson, then the Senate Majority Leader, described his reaction to this new blow to American morale: "I shrink a little inside of me when the United States announces a great event—and it blows up in our face. Why don't they perfect the satellite and announce it after it is in the sky?"
Less than two months later, though, the United States celebrated the achievement of German rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, by then a US citizen and working for the US Army. On January 31, 1958, his Explorer 1 lifted off from Cape Canaveral and became the first US rocket to orbit Earth. The space race with the Russians was officially on.
In the following months, President Eisenhower responded to the growing fear of Soviet domination and the fresh doubt about the quality and focus of American schooling. He named James R. Killian, the president of MIT, as his first special assistant for science and technology. He stressed the importance of education to the nation's security by proposing the creation of the National Defense Education Act to encourage students to pursue degrees in science and technology; Congressional backing of the program led to dramatically increased funding for scientific research and the teaching of science, math, and foreign languages. The civilian-led National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) was formed in July 1958. And the National Science Foundation substantially expanded its funding for new curricula and textbooks as well as scholarships for potential scientists, engineers, and mathematicians.
Suddenly, science education was not only cutting edge—it was at the center of American life. The existential threat posed by the Soviets had focused the nation's collective mind. As we have learned all too well in the post-9/11 world, fear is a powerful motivator.
Yet as deeply felt as the Cold War fears were in the late 1950s, early 1960s, and even decades later, the Sputnik era elicits a remarkable sense of nostalgia, above and beyond the typical gaze at bygone times. It's easy to see why: The children of Sputnik benefited from a strong sense of common purpose and community. They had a clearly defined enemy and an obvious reason for pulling together to achieve shared goals. At their most acute, Americans felt that the nation's existence was at stake. But so too was its pride and identity as a world leader. America's technological prestige and self-confidence had been seriously dented by the Soviets' success; Americans had something to prove.
Something to prove. How far the nation has drifted from that mind-set.
In the coming pages, we will explore the dangerous rise of complacency, the decline of ambition, the growing alienation from government, the failure to educate our children, the deepening pessimism over public solutions, the shrinking confidence of our global peers, the mind-numbing partisanship that is stifling constructive action—and why a turnaround is so urgent. Much of this discussion will spotlight what's broken: how it happened and why we need to fix it. But it's energized by the optimistic belief that we are capable of regaining a sense of purpose and unity.
To be clear, we need a sense of urgency. We need incentives that inspire excellence. We need to compete globally, we need to cooperate locally, and we need to work harder to make change. Yes, our schools are struggling, our economic underpinnings are shaky, our political culture is filled with rancor and cynicism, and our popular culture is fixated on celebrity and easy pleasures. Yet success in the 21st century depends on brains and speed, innovation and new partnerships. It requires long-range thinking and a reinvigorated commitment to hard work, excellence, and purposeful action.
And we need this now. Before it's too late. Because we have something to prove.
Let's recall how a sense of urgency has influenced modern America. Not many years before Sputnik pierced the sky, American leadership demonstrated the ability to take action in a way that could dramatically move the nation. The landmark GI Bill, officially the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, passed by unanimous votes in both the House and the Senate, making it possible for millions of returning US veterans to go to school or college and buy homes. By 1951, more than eight million vets, nearly one out of seven in the labor force of fifty-nine million, had benefited from these government subsidies for education, at a cost of $14 billion—including financial assistance for half a million engineers, 250,000 teachers, 200,000 men with medical training, and 117,000 metal workers. The visionary bill opened the door for a generation to expand their skills and their ambitions. It was an extraordinary national investment that not only smoothed the postwar transition but also spurred a generation of workers to gear up for a changing world and participate in the expansion of American prosperity. This was a far different outcome than many returning vets had feared: one survey found that the majority expected to face an economic depression when they got back.
College students who had not served in the military were often startled by the level of seriousness of these returning vets, their new classmates. "All they care about is their school work," complained one Lehigh College senior to a writer from the New York Times who visited the leafy Pennsylvania campus in 1946. "They're grinds, every one of them. It's books, books all the time with them. They study so hard, we have to slave to keep up with them." From the veterans, there was no apology, even if they showed little interest in the frivolities of college life. "We didn't come to college to play games," explained one new Lehigh student. "We've lost several years out of our lives, and we have to make up for it.... We've come to study."
Like Sputnik, the GI Bill inspired a shared will. Veterans returning from the battlefronts of Europe and Asia acted out of self-interest, but they were determined to put their lives back together and give meaning to the years of sacrifice on foreign soil. The GI Bill recognized this by creating a financial infrastructure that would reinvest them on American soil. Just as Americans would later feel the need for action because of Sputnik, Americans understood that fourteen million returning vets required a clear plan of action. "Think of what the after-effects would have been had there been no G.I. Bill," noted the administrator of Veterans Affairs, Carl Grey Jr., in 1951. "These young men would have returned home hoping to assume their rightful places in their communities and eager to become the leaders of tomorrow —but entirely unprepared for the task." That sense of urgency created the conditions for the nation to showcase its best self.
Nearly a decade later, doubts persisted whether America's best was good enough. On April 12, 1961, the Soviets beat the United States again when cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin shot into space, the first human to do so. Gagarin, aboard the spacecraft Vostok, orbited the globe for eighty-nine minutes before returning safely. Only twenty-three days later, on May 5, astronaut Alan B. Shepard became the second human and the first American to travel in space. His fifteen-minute, suborbital flight, inside the Redstone rocket named Freedom VII, ended with a splashdown in the Atlantic. (Shepard's reported thoughts while awaiting liftoff: "The fact that every part of this ship was built by the low bidder.")
Shepard's heroic feat only intensified the hunger to surpass the Russians. This was dramatically symbolized by the announcement three weeks later from the new American president, John F. Kennedy, that the United States should commit itself to landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth by the end of the decade. The May 25 speech, before a joint session of Congress, was titled "Urgent National Needs." Kennedy opened by addressing what he believed was at stake: "to win the battle that is now going on around the world between freedom and tyranny," he said, adding that the adventures in space were influencing "the minds of men everywhere, who are attempting to make a determination of which road they should take."
The costs of a mission to the moon would run into the billions, Kennedy acknowledged, and the burdens of achieving success would be heavy; they would require diverting resources and technical manpower from other important projects. And why hadn't this commitment already happened? The United States had "never made the national decisions or marshaled the national resources required for such leadership," Kennedy told Congress. "We have never specified long-range goals on an urgent time schedule, or managed our resources and our time so as to insure their fulfillment."
Then he summoned a call to action, a goal that he admitted would be difficult and expensive to achieve, an effort that would require a shared commitment: "In a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the Moon—if we make this judgment affirmatively, it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there."
The speech stunned Robert Gilruth, the director of NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. "I could hardly believe my ears," he recalled years later. "I was literally aghast at the size of the project.... It was a tremendous act of faith by the President." Gilruth heard Kennedy's address on a radio while flying on a DC-3 with James E. Webb, NASA's top administrator. "I knew how much work was required before an American, or any other spacemen, could set foot on the moon's hostile surface," said Gilruth.
By every measure, this was a major commitment, rooted in a combination of American confidence and competitive fear, as well as a new president struggling with the aftermath of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba. It was by no means certain that the mission would be successful: In contrast to the Soviets, the United States had not yet succeeded at sending an astronaut into orbit. (While astronaut Gus Grissom successfully replicated Alan Shepard's suborbital flight several months after Kennedy's bold decision, Grissom narrowly escaped drowning after splashdown when his capsule hatch opened prematurely and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic.) The first manned orbit by a US astronaut was nearly a year later, in February 1962, when John Glenn circled Earth three times in four hours and fifty-six minutes.
It took public opinion a while to catch up with the president's initiative. Before Kennedy's 1961 speech, a Gallup poll found that only a third of Americans supported spending the money to send a man to the moon. By 1963, more than two-thirds believed that the United States should maintain or increase the speed of the lunar effort. The majority's wish was granted. Within three years of Kennedy's commitment, NASA's budget rose more than 500 percent to $5.3 billion in 1965, and the lunar landing program involved more than 34,000 NASA workers and 375,000 employees of university and industrial contractors at its peak. By one estimate, the manned moon mission's total cost exceeded $20 billion (more than $130 billion in 2007 dollars). Kennedy was not reluctant to argue on behalf of the expenditure: Speaking in 1962 at Rice University in Houston, he promised benefits in science and education, industry and medicine. The billions spent that year, he noted, were less than Americans were spending on cigarettes and cigars.
The investment paid off. On July 20, 1969, eight years and two months after Kennedy launched the program, Apollo 11 landed on the moon and American Neil Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface. It was a remarkable technical achievement; the success was a testament to America's capacity to respond to a perceived threat, grasp the potential of change, marshal the nation's resources, and act with great urgency.
One small step for man, indeed.
Fast forward to July 1979, exactly one decade after Armstrong planted the American flag on the moon and two decades after Sputnik. The contrast between Kennedy's initiative and President Jimmy Carter's effort for energy reform is like looking in a funhouse mirror: One was robust and energizing, the other was fallow and ultimately dispiriting. It was not what Carter intended when he sat before the hot television lights and a skeptical nation to deliver his fateful "crisis of confidence" speech.
Clad in his modest wool cardigan, Carter called his six-point plan to reduce oil consumption by 4.5 million barrels a day by 1990 "the most massive peacetime commitment of funds and resources in our nation's history." Its purpose: to develop alternative energy sources and reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil. Sober and determined, Carter's speech came amid the second oil crisis of the 1970s, as the Iranian revolution had cut off oil production and the United States faced gas shortages. It followed a much-publicized ten-day delay during which he gathered views from a diverse collection of Americans, "people from almost every segment of our society," he said, "business and labor, teachers and preachers, governors, mayors, and private citizens."
Yet as strongly as the president aimed to describe the urgency of the moment, he faced a much altered world. He sought to inspire action by describing the conditions gripping the nation, yet his words failed to resonate in the way he had hoped. Typically known as his "malaise" speech, it may well have sunk his chances for reelection the following year against the sunnier Ronald Reagan.

Anyone who has watched the Seattle fleet of halibut schooners migrate every year up to the Alaska fishing grounds and marveled at their elegance and durability, will appreciate the shame the author feels in that opening chapter.
In the first few pages of Four Thousand Hooks, we learn the author, barely 16-years-old, has hit a log on his wheel watch. The boat is sinking and the author may have to live the rest of his life with the memory of letting down the crew, losing his uncle's source of livelihood and sinking one of the most magnificent fishing boats ever built.
Before we find out what happens, we get a good idea of what's it like to break in on a halibut schooner. Once she leaves the dock, the Grant becomes its own isolated world with its own tough, moral traditions and standards--a dramatic transition for a 16-year-old boy.
The ending of this good read is even more amazing than the beginning. In a nice touch at the very end, we are brought back full circle to the model boat the author's grandfather gave him just before the old man went into a nursing home
Well, I got both. This is a captivating, fluidly-written and humorous book with a great tale to tell. I was, despite reading the book on a hot an humid day in the sub-tropics, transported to the cold, exhausting and relentless challenge that the writer went through. He starts as a child, out of his depth, with everything to learn. By the end, only weeks later, he is an adult, and a fisherman too. In the process, I learnt more than I ever could from documentaries or films, seeing fishing through the eyes of a seasoned mariner with a clear memory and wonderful descriptive voice.
Thank you Mr Adams, for a wonderful story, well and simply told. You are a great writer, and I'm looking forward to your next book!
Oh. They have to abandon ship.
I believe people call this sort of a book a page-turner. I claim this book will appeal to many different people. And I suspect it will never become unread and forgotten.
Give it to your kids and read it yourself.
I wrote the above about 70% into the book. I was reading about the young Adams reflecting on the adult insights he had found. His remarks made me wish to hang up my clothes! I was reminded of Gretchen Rubin's "Secrets of Adulthood". Anything that might get me to consider growing up is impressive. :-) I have now finished the book. There is a spirital component towards the end and I though of Melville and Homer and others. Note the author got a "D" in eighth grade English and was given to understand he could not write.
You'll never take fresh food on the table for granted again.
The glossary lists terms alphabetically which may need definition & if you have any doubt about what a beautiful wood halibut schooner looks like there is a gorgeous model photo.
It touched my heart & I continue to share it with friends.

Look Years Younger!
Do you find yourself having to use more eyeliner or mascara in an attempt to hide and cover up unsightly wrinkles and blemishes? Your eyes are known as the windows into your soul, but if you have poor skin is can distract from your beauty. It's time to begin using Replennage Eye Cream and restore your skin in just a matter of weeks. Unfortunately this is some of the most sensitive skin on your body and the very first spot that begins to deteriorate and show signs of aging.
It can be quite common to develop blemishes, dark bags, crows feet, and fine lines around your eyes as early as your late 20s or 30s. By using more and more makeup this is obviously only a temporary solution that could end up being very costly. But don't you want to feel beautiful and confident without hiding under makeup? You need to rejuvenate and nourish your skin and you are able to do this without undergoing expensive Botox injections, surgical procedures or laser treatments. Learn more about why Replennage Eye Cream is the anti-aging solution for you and try it out risk-free. Order your trial today!
Why Do Wrinkles Form Around My Eyes?
In your local pharmacy or health store there are entire aisles dedicated to just skincare products, but it is important to know what your skin needs. A lot of these products might not be effective because they are developed for a singular solution or might just be glorified moisturizers. In our society we are constantly bombarded by advertising images of aging celebrities that have perfect, flawless skin. Many people don't realize a lot of actors and celebrities undergo intensive cosmetic surgeries, have access to the best clinics in the world, and also these images are all airbrushed and edited.
The problem is the average woman can't afford to undergo Botox injections on a monthly basis, cosmetic surgery or laser treatments. These can cost you thousands of dollars for a mostly short-term solution. Our skin consists of three separate layers called the dermis, epidermis and hypodermis and they are held together by a connective tissue known as collagen. By using Replennage Eye Cream you can use a painless solution to brighten your skin and eliminate wrinkles in just a matter of weeks!
How Does Replennage Eye Cream Even Work?
This clinical strength proprietary formula was designed to be applied daily to have maximum anti-aging effects. This works on both topical and cellular levels to create long-term beauty results. It first works by aiding your depleted collagen levels. In just a matter of weeks Replennage will stimulate new collagen and elastin growth to firm and tighten the skin surrounding your eyes.
This will strengthen your weakened cells and plump your skin. The incorporation of Hyaluronic acid in this solution is made for your complexion to better retain moisture. In fact this will help your skin repair and replenish itself no matter how dry and irritated it is. You will be able to brighten blemishes and dark bags so you can finally get rid of those raccoon eyes! You will restore your skin's health while boosting your own self confidence. This will all be done without undergoing painful and expensive cosmetic procedures and you can love your skin without caking on the makeup!
